Question
UNCA is a good collage if you haveBrightUndecided
UNCA is a good collage if you have a Liberal mindset. There are very few conservatives on campus. The Republican club on campus rarely meets and sponsors few events. A good portion of students smoke weed or consume alcohol. This is not a "party school". "Quiet Hours" are not enforced, unless it's exam week. Programs are well structured. Advisors will let you know what classes you will need to take. so you will not be confused when you sign up for classes. Professors are readily available during their office hours. If you have a rough week, some Professors are lenient with giving extensions. Some required classes(Humanities) are Liberal classes. Humanities examines the atrocities humans are inflicted upon one another. The scapegoats are people who practice religion. The campus is beautiful in late Spring to early Fall. Lots of outdoor activities.

Question
I feel like my worst mistake in lifeQuite BrightPolitical Science
I feel like my worst mistake in life is going to UNCA and not applying to other schools. There are not many students here, and they are all very cliquey. It's like a larger version of a high school. Everyone thinks they are unique, but there are so many unique people it looks like they are all conforming. (The dreads, hairiness, and foul-odors, etc...) They pretend like they are tolerant, but heaven forbid you say something they disagree with, and they can be just as intolerant as those they rant against. However, if not having friends is your thing, then the faculty is excellent. I think they genuinely care about the students and just be wary of the constant liberal propaganda of your professors and get used to making "diversity" your favorite word. You will be hearing about it for the next four years.
